Hey @yusufozturk
What you are trying to do is supported and it's a great way of getting a subset of events from Big Data systems into Sentinel. I have been using Azure Data Explorer with a Function App to do this (it's such a great product)! If anyone was starting out, looking for a way to get rid of Splunk and ELK Stack completely while still having big data capability that can send alerts to Splunk, ADX with DCRs is an exceptional solution. I honestly don't think there is another columnar database that can compete with ADX on performance / cost / compression.
Anyway - this is what you were hoping to see:
Think of the Data Collection Rule as being a pipeline rather than "pushing" data anywhere. All data is coming into it as JSON (strings and integers) but the pipeline has to transform those data types from to match what's expected by the ASIM schema in Log Analytics. This stream of data has to labelled as a "custom" stream but this isn't a custom log "_CL"! Within the DCR Azure Monitor lets you output that data into standard ASIM tables today.
I'll give you an example of one of the ASIM DCR rules (with my subscription data removed of course). 🙂
- Make sure you have granted the Monitoring Metrics Publisher role to the service account you are using to submit data on the DCR.
- Take note of the name "Custom-ASimFileEventLogs" I've used in the stream declaration as you need to use that name when you submit your events to the DCE.
- Be patient - it can take up to 3 minutes for the event to arrive in Log Analytics.
- At the end of this reply I'll post a PowerShell script to test sending events to the DCR
